Oh the weather inside is frightful but some fires would be delightful~

Polar Vortex!

In the middle of the night on day 299, something has gone amiss. The temperature ship wide begins to slowly drop, filling the rooms with a biting low cold. It's as though winter has come to the Engime. Over the day, the walls and floors will slowly cover with ice and in the various lounges, it's begun to snow, coating tabletops and seats alike with a soft white blanket.

There's been a malfunction in the holodecks having to do with the recent fiddlings of Seth and a small group of people and now, it's a mere 15 °F. (That's -10 ºC) Thankfully, there's no wind chill to take into account. The Cargo Bay is the only place that seems to escape this cold but only the worst of it. It's more livable temperature comes out to only just above freezing.

The cold will last until late in day 301 when the ship slowly starts warming back up to it's amicable warmer temperatures.

So what shall you do? Cuddle with a buddy? Huddle under your blankets? Well now, that's up to you, isn't it.

Please note that this is a player plot and has nothing to do with the metaplot.

FAQ

1.Is this caused by magic?
No, it's a technical malfunction.

2. Can it be fixed with magic?
No, and any attempt to fix it at the source will fail.

3. My character is a vampire, will they be effected?
Yes, as the temperatures will be below freezing.

4. Are the blankets provided in the rooms thick enough?
Yes, they are heavier styled comforters.

5.I have another question that you didn't already answer.
Wonderful, just place your questions here and we'll answer them as readily as we can.

QUESTION: Can Draco perform warming charms for people, or will the ship prevent that somehow?

Draco Malfoy
In general, Draco's not hugely fond of cold temperatures, so he'll be primarily keeping to the cargo hold, but I'm more than happy to have him wander around to grump as well!

Lydia Martin
Lydia will also be exceedingly unhappy with this (being a California girl, born and raised), and will spend the whole thing bundled up fiercely. She may wander the ship the first day as well in hopes of finding a warm spot or some scientific reason for the cold snap, so I'm open to her running into whomever!

In summary: totally open to any and all plotting for either of mine!

Come grump with Tara. I was considering giving her hypothermia. Feel like using magic to rescue her, Draco?

He will totally grump with her. And providing his magic works, I will happily have him rescue her!

Lydia and Mary can grump together if you want. Mary's from New Mexico, so she gets it. (Though she did grow up in New Jersey, at some points homeless/without heat, so she might not be fully sympathetic.)

And can you guess the first person Joan is going to think did this?

They could give that a go - I might have a log for her. Lydia's not hugely fond of Mary, and she may just say so if things get too snippy. xD But it could be amusing!

Joan, don't you dare even blame him. He will hex you. 8(

There aren't all that many people that are fond of Mary. It's cool.

And she totally will! At least initially.

Uwahaha~ She's very hard to deal with |D

He will be over here, grumbling and being generally annoyed. And he may also make a very irate network post stating that he had nothing to do with it. x3

Lydia and wolf boy should totally go looking for what's going on. Then he'll have to warm her up since you know she'll be in a mini-skirt.

Naturally. We shall do it!

Draco, bluebell flames! GO!

Lydia, would you like to borrow a pair of tights or maybe a pair of trousers?
alphaophiuchi: (Default)

[personal profile] alphaophiuchi 2014-09-04 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, he shall absolutely be doing that. Also warming charms. For anyone who knows enough to ask. :3

...yes, she would. Tights, though. Probably not trousers >_>

Draco, you're magic is incredibly useful. What can you do?

Lydia. >:\ Well. At least take a pair of socks, okay?
alphaophiuchi: (Default)

[personal profile] alphaophiuchi 2014-09-04 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
He can do everything. 8D

...perhaps. If they're hidden by her booties.

>:| Lydia Martin, if you would have just listened to me you wouldn't be in this predicament.

(Let's do it.)

She listens to no one!!!

(Perf <3 You're super perf)

[personal profile] katerrifically 2014-09-05 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
She should listen to at least one person once in a while!

(Flattery.)
